    US Military Shovel

    My fathers been crazy about collecting military equipment lately(canteens, clothing, boots, furnace, backpack, p38s, etc) and I want to contribute to his collection. He is ex army and served his time back in the early 80s, and has mentioned a camping shovel that ties to the backpack. Can somebody show me what this shovel looks like? And better yet, where I could purchase it? Thanks in advance!

    -I tried researching myself but I ran into a variety... just want to make sure I get the right one

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I think this is the shovel he would want, to go with the 80's set of equipment. Hayes Otoupalik in Missoula has them.
